Undej Mr. Gladstone's land pur­ chase bill there are three Irish land­ lords who would receive- each about $4,250,000, fourteen $2,350,000each and ninety abotit $1,000,000 each. Most of these have never set foot Ireland. The representatives of 22 bosh but­ ter factories came together at Pitts burg, Pa., a, short time ago and "or­ ganized for mutual protection." Fair­ ly translated, that means "for the de­ struction oi the genuine butter and 'dairy interests of the country." It looks very much as if the long (Cherished plan of an arcade railway under Broadway would be put into operation at last. Only the expendi­ ture of $100,000,000 now stands in the way, and New York will probably be able to raise that sum for a busi­ ness enterprise much easier than $100,000 for a Grant monument.

Little Falls Transcript. W. It VULLEB, Publisher. LITTLE FALLS, MINNESOTA. One if not tnor« of tho fast passen ger trains between New York ana Chi­ cago, now make the run in twenty four and a half hours—a distance of over eight hundred and fifty miles. It & estimated that $20,000,000 worth of British capital is invest­ ed in cattle companies in this country. The prospects of the busi­ ness are said not to encourage any increase of the investment. The faith in Keely, of motor fame, in Philadelphia, is still unimpaired. He is, it is said, to give shortly a pub­ lic exhibition of his 200 horse-power engine. "In a few weeks," says the secretary of the company, "I hope Mr. Keely will have finished his work and taken out his patents. He ia working to better advantage now than for years, and is devoting all his ener­ gies to the engine." When Governor West of Utah who is a Kentuckian, talked to the polygamous Mormons about aband­ oning their defiance of the United States, they jibed hi...

He ventured his arm 'round her waist, All under the moon's silver light He thought it would not be misplaced, And found that he thought about right. He mused: Do I dare steal a kiss? And upon it his mind was so bent, Though he feared she might take it amiss, He took one without her consent. She nave a quick toss of her head He tremblingly thoughthe'd done wrong "My dear, are you angry?" he said. "Yes because you have waited so long." THE BUCK FLAG.

AFTER THE BALI, She counts her conquests all as naught Before this crowning one— The love that seemed to come unsought, Like splendors of the sun And every word he spoke to-night Is graven on her brain In letters of auroral light, Forever to remain. She lays her lips upon the hands His fervent lips have kissed All o'er her clear eyes as she stands There comes a happy mist. What was her charm in form or lace O'er others at the ball That he should do her such a grace As choose her mid them all? She casts her shining silks aside, And robes her for her rest Her only dream till morning tide, "He loves me—loves me best." O, virgin faith! O, face so sweet* 0, heart that pulses true! Will any man's heart ever beat As loyally for you? He leaves the ball, but mot Jgr rest, And not for faithful dream Life needs, it seems, another zest YVhere Lais reigns supreme.

r'8bt* THE VOYAGE. Bow swift are the years in their flowing, As' onward they go evermore More swiftly they seem to be going The nearer we draw to the wore. I see a great lleet-on the ocean, With sails like the wings ofthe light I see it forever in motion. As onward it speeds in its flight And we ara in ships that are sailing, Far out on the sea of the years And turbulent winds in their walling, Will beat till the haven appears. fet least are the days of repining— More often the joy than alarm, For light in its silvery shining, Is more than the cloud and the storm. Bnt rocks are in course of our sailing, And dangers are many and grave Yet each may with efforts unfailing, Find safety on billow and wave. The Lord Christ can still the fierce tempest, And reach down the sinking to save— Can quell evil passions the strongest, And help us to walk on the wave. But mam- go oat on the oeean To crois without anchor or light, And tossed by the sea In its motion, Are wrecked on the Islands of ni...

Little Falls Transcript. W. M. FTJLLEB, Publisher. LITTLE PALLS, MINNESOTA. The subscription raised lor tho ben­ efit of the families of the policemen killed and wounded in the Chicago riot exceeds $75,000, and is still in­ creasing. There is a precedent for the oleomar­ garine law, in the taxation of the cir­ culation of all banks and banking as­ sociations except national banks. This tax of 10 per cent, stopped.the issue of bills by all state banks, and this result was intended. There is a rough estimate that sev­ eral hundred thousand dollars went from St. Paul and Minneapolis alone to Chicago to pay losses on "long wheat'-'—i. e. the difference between prices months ago and present rate. The losses throughout the northwest may be conjectured. Ar: inhabitant of London consumes in a year thirty-two times as much fish 03 an inhabitant of Berlin, and though the stores oi the North sea are open to the German metropolis, ParLs with her 2,200,000 inhabitants consume more f.sh than the ...
